14. Data Analysis
Different tools for different depths and learning objectives.
Ohmage Generic Data Exploration (all campaigns)
Customized Dashboards: snack, ads, trash (
It is extremely difficult to develop a universal data viz that will accommodate for all situations. Therefore, Mobilize provides different tools based on different learning objectives. All tools are built based on data collected by ohmage.
Generic ohmage data exploration: provide a set of plots with limited filtering capability e.g. date, users. There is no filtering based on a response value.
Customized dashboard was originally designed to visualize snack data. The visualization template has then been extended for other campaigns data such as advertisement and trash. It allows users to filter data based on a response values to a set of questions, including a word and location.
Rstudio provides a IDE/scripting environment based on R programming language. Users can apply arbitrary data manipulation or applying different plot functions. Mobilize provides a library of simple commands to ease students from complex tasks.
Shiny is a package that runs on Rstudio. It facilitates the GUI development to support data visualization.
RStudio: Script-based Data Analysis (all campaigns)
Shiny: Customized GUI on RStudio (future)
